Here is a picture taken by a buddy of mine of one of the remotest parts of Yosemite National Park. Absolutely no trails, exceptionally rugged, thick with wildlife. Large waterfalls without a name, lush pockets of meadow and greenery among the expansive granite slabs, and lakes big and small. This eden shall remain nameless and unidentified, but it's paradoxically in one of the most popular national parks in the country. Click, enlarge and enjoy.

shame its in california
ReplyDeleteIf there's anywhere in Cali that grizzlies could still exist, this is the spot. Very remote, no trails.
DeleteNatural beauty
ReplyDeleteDoes the soul good
ReplyDeleteBack in the ‘70’s I used to hike the Minarets in the Ritter Range to the East of Yosemite. Wonderful views down into the valley from there. We used to get dive bombed by the Mono Lake Gulls at 11,000’. I hope it’s still fairly pristine.
ReplyDeleteI visited Devils Postpile in '73. I was the only person there.
DeleteGlad to have lived when I did.
Yosemite is over 750,000 acres, and the Valley most people visit is only about 4,000 acres. Most people driving in from the west side only see a tiny fraction of the park.
ReplyDeleteHiked the backcountry there in '81 for nearly two weeks.
ReplyDeleteExcept for the day going in and the day we came out, we only saw six other people in 10 days.
Came over a rise and practically walked into a buck and three does 20' away. The bears were all down in the valley scrounging trash and eating tourists.
